Facility Overview
SM-3, located at 485 N Camden Dr, is a conveniently situated parking facility serving the heart of the Beverly Hills commercial district. The structure offers an efficient layout designed primarily for passenger vehicles. Visitors should be aware of standard vertical clearance limits common to municipal structures in this area, which are typically capped around 6 feet 6 inches. While ideal for sedans, coupes, and standard SUVs, drivers of oversized pickup trucks, lifted vehicles, or high-roof passenger vans should exercise caution or seek alternative surface-level parking if height clearance is a concern.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The facility is exceptionally well-placed for those visiting the luxury retail and dining corridors of Beverly Hills. Its central location provides immediate access to:
- Rodeo Drive: The world-renowned luxury shopping destination is just a short 5-minute walk away.
- Beverly Gardens Park: Perfectly situated for a leisurely afternoon stroll, located less than half a mile from the garage.
- Fine Dining & Bistros: The facility is steps away from the elite culinary scene along N Camden Drive and Wilshire Boulevard.
- Business District: An excellent choice for professionals working in or visiting the various office buildings and corporate suites located in the 90210 zip code.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Accessing SM-3 is straightforward via N Camden Drive. Traffic in the Beverly Hills triangle can be dense during peak shopping hours and lunch rushes, so drivers are encouraged to approach via Santa Monica Boulevard or Wilshire Boulevard to mitigate congestion. While the primary mode of travel in Beverly Hills remains the private vehicle, the site is well-serviced by local bus lines, and ride-sharing services are highly prevalent in this area, making it a reliable hub for those combining driving with quick transit to surrounding Los Angeles neighborhoods.
